Coloursofts AGAIN
on ebay
Can't...stop...drawing...yarn...
I tested the red, and I like it. Cranberry is a good color as well.
The pinks are a little "fleshy" in my opinion.
I did this one, scanned it, decided it needed something, fiddled with it, scanned it again, fiddled with it some more, scanned it again and yep, fiddled with it one more time. I ended up burnishing it a bit with white, then added more color again.
I notice that when I do actual knitting, like this one, I end up burnishing. For some reason the grainy look I do with the yarn doesn't work as well with the actual knitting. Hmmm...

Thanks to my friends on ScribbleTalk, I found this great site today ~ ArtRenewal.org
And because for some reason I decided I needed a "why do I bother?" moment, I looked at some of Gary Kelley's work.
I could cry.
I remember when I was a student at the Academy, for some reason we had a piece of his hanging in the display case for a while. It was an illustration of Stevie Ray Vaughn. I think it was when Gary was just starting to hit it BIG, and I that piece went on to win an award somewhere.
I have my travel mug from Barnes and Noble with his mural of the famous writers as a constant reminder of how brilliant some people are, and how...not so brilliant...some of the rest of us are.
